tested and updated to xbmc 2004-04-19.

i'd love to participate
i wish there was a tutorial on how to get started
maybe there is, so i am of to try to find one

Gamester17 · 2004-04-21, 12:14

only official skinning document => http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs....by=date and more info can be found here (link).
guess currently only other way to learn is to look at existing skins (allxboxskins.com link) plus old fashion trail and error Huh

webMASTER_P · 2004-04-21, 13:38

great, thanks
i started tinkering in photoshop and put together some prototypes yesterday that i am happy with
i am not sure if xbmc can handle that layout though, but i'll have to try and see for myself

allxboxskins.com works for me. and even if it is broken we can't fix it. it's not our site. Smile

the site is ok....only the download for the skin by leonardo is broken...i actually meant if he could check what's wrong with his upload there.

all other downloads from allxboxskins work for me too.

fyi, login for xbmc skins downloads is skin/skin (temp download only), however for our upload you need to use "end user upload"

thank you very much!

the modding another users skin rule, is still true for xme, which is currently the default skin, and is released under the gpl. also i did some work on blackblue and made a more retro version, leonardo you may want to include some of the stuff i did to settings, and i changed the way it renders alot of backgrounds.

** removed link **

edit : skin updated
edit : gamester17 i submitted xme but figured you dont need the skin, since its already on sourceforge Smile

edit: just making sure this says that i would like to submit my blackblue mod.

edit by hullebulle: had to remove the link leonardo requested it.

**floink** · 2004-04-23, 09:24

thought i'd supply a tip for anyone wanting to start working on a skin. as of lately all graphics in the default skin are all embedded in a textures.xpr file so it's kinda hard to reverse engineer those. so to get all gfx and xmls easily just install a cvs tool, as described here, and download all files to your hd from sourceforge.net. i know xbmc is currently in a feature freeze but what you get with this is also all the latest skin changes as a reference to your own skin.
originality is honest Smile

oh, so that's what that file is for!
i wish i'd known that when i was trying to figure out where all the images were. well, i don't need it anyway, i am building all the images from scratch. i hope to post a wip in a few days, i just started hacking away at the home.xml yesterday.

Gamester17 · 2004-04-23, 14:07

textures.xpr is all images in the skin compressed into one file (made using xbmctex.exe which is an xdk binary so cannot distribute, more info)

Shadow_Mx · 2004-04-24, 02:52

i uploaded a rather recent copy of the skin files here

hope it helps people get started.

wabidwoveren, you do not have my permission to modify my blackblue skin.

- to modify the skin done by another author and to publish it, first you must ask for permission, such and since like he did in his day did onkel bouncy.

- all the modifications that you incorporate provoke that so much the visualizations for lists as for icons they remain secret for the music and the video overlay.

- all the graphical resources that you use, both the classic background and the new one have been created for my and you do not have permission to use them in other skins.

- to do a skin is a very hard work in order that people like
your are useful of the same one, to do a bad full copy of bugs and that i consider discredits my work.

therefore i request withdraw the copy of my skin of the forums and of the webs where you have published it.
